He saw that Su Qingsang was looking at him and then he handed her the dress he wanted her to try.
“I’m gonna answer a phone call. Try it on now, quickly,” he said.
He was acting strangely, but Su Qingsang didn’t give it a second thought. She took the dress into the fitting room.
By the time she changed her clothes and came out, Huo Jinyao had went outside to answer the phone.
She seldom wore bright red, especially since she worked in a hospital.
Her eyes caught on a neatly cut white dress on the other side of the store and she reached for it. At the same time, another hand touched the dress. Su Qingsang was confounded for a moment, and that person was also looking at her.
“Su Qingsang?”
The voice sounded contemptuous. The person standing before her was the sister of Qiu Yanbo— Qiu Junjiao.
Su Qingsang had not seen her at the party of the day before yesterday and had heard that she had been abroad. So she was back?
Beside Qiu Junjiao stood another woman, good-looking and wearing very delicate makeup. She didn’t show any interest in what was going on before her.
“Xuanyao, how about this dress?” Qiu Junjiao went to take down the dress, only to find that Su Qingsang’s hand was still on it. She glanced at her. “Let go, will you?”
She was about to take the dress, but Su Qingsang did not let go. “Sorry, but I saw it first.”
“Su Qingsang,” Qiu Junjiao snorted coldly. “Why? How dare you stand against me?”
“Miss Qiu, be reasonable. I saw this dress first.”
It was just a dress. She did not necessarily want it, but she did not like Qiu Junjiao’s annoying tone and attitude.
“So what? Can you afford even it?” QiuJuniao asked.
The woman then thought for a moment and laughed. “Oh, I heard you got married. Which family in Lin City is he from? The Zeng Family? The Luo family? Or Song or Chang? People should always be aware of their own class. Why do you want this? You think you’ll become a queen by putting on a crown?”
Su Qingsang had been used to the contempt in her words over, so she had no intention of paying any attention.
The woman behind Qiu Junjiu, whose name was He Xuanyao asked, “Junjiao, who is she?”
“Let me introduce you to the illegitimate daughter of the Su Family—Su Qingsang. My brother was engaged to Miss Su Peizhen, the eldest daughter of the Su Family.”
She raised her voice deliberately when she spoke the words “illegitimate daughter,” as if she wanted everyone to know it.
Su Qingsang had heard many such taunts before, so she didn’t feel anything at all.
“You still won’t let go?” Qiu Junjiao asked Su Qingsang to let go very arrogantly. The clerk watching all this did not dare to speak a word.
Looking at Qiu Junjiao for a while, Su Qingsang was about to take her hand back. Then, another bigger hand quickly took the dress and put it into Su Qingsang’s hand.
“Go and try it on.”
Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao whose face was calm, as if he had not heard the words “illegitimate daughter.”
“Who are you?”
Qiu Junjiao did not know Huo Jinyao. Her face became sour because the dress she had picked was taken by someone else.
Huo Jinyao didn’t pay any attention to her. Instead, he turned to the clerk behind him.
“I thought a store like this was supposed to be classy. How come you let in a barking dog?”
Su Qingsang almost choked on her own saliva. Qiu Junjiao stepped forward, her chest heaving violently. “Who are you? Are you calling me a dog?”
“Funny. This is the first time I’ve seen someone who couldn’t wait to admit that she’s a dog.” Huo Jinyao curled the corner of his lips and looked at Su Qingsang.
